How to Drive a Roundabout

  1. Yield when you approach a roundabout and watch for pedestrians in the crosswalk.
  2. Look to the left as you near the dashed yield line and yield to traffic already in the circle.
  3. Once you see a gap in traffic, enter the circle and proceed to your exit. Look for pedestrians as you exit and make sure you stay in your lane as you navigate the roundabout.
  4. In a multi-lane roundabout, choose a lane before entering the roundabout. Signs posted near the roundabout will direct you to the appropriate lane based on whether you want to make a left turn, go straight or make a U-turn.
  5. Choose either the left lane as you enter the roundabout or choose the right lane if you want to make a right turn.
